Patricia Loves: Ailera Stone

|

I’m back on track! Today I’d like to introduce you (in case you didn’t know her already) to a really cool Lithuanian photographer called Ailera Stone. A while ago I stumbled across her photoshoot with Megan McMinn and soon enough I was browsing through her whole portfolio, hooked on. The eerie lights and colorful backgrounds make you feel as if you’re witnessing a story, if not a fairytale, unfold. The 22 year old photographer is now studying in England…“I always liked to escape into other worlds through books, movies and music, but I found out that the best way to do that is by taking pictures. My photography is a way to capture moments and make them magical, bring the dreams into this world.”

With all that said, enjoy! ♥

Yo, ho, ho and a bottle of rum

|

I know, I know, I should do a walk of shame right now considering it’s been almost two weeks since I posted something, but the weather has been a hater lately, it’s been raining on an off daily therefore I’ve been caught in the pouring water apocalypse every day (and no, considering how hard it rained, umbrellas were of no use) so I was in no condition of taking outfit shots, sadly.
On a lighter note, I got my host families’ data and they’re all so cute, and one family has a shiba dog (like Hachiko, for who’s seen the movie), gosh I can’t wait to abuse him :3
I’ve been craving the sea a lot lately, mostly because my mom and brother went in Turkey on holiday without me. One of the cities in which I’ll stay in Japan is by the shore, hopefully I’ll be able to go swim a few times, too. Below I’d like to share with you some photos from my trip to Crete from last summer. As some of you know, the Mediterranean Sea is incredibly beautiful, colour wise. Well, the water is clear, obviously, which makes it easy to spot fish and other cute sea creatures all the time. It was really warm too, at the end of August, swimming was darling. Enjoy!

Patricia loves: Strawberry Koi

|

Hey lovely people! I wanted to apologize for not posting as much as I’ve used you to and not replying to all of your lovely comments, but I’m having a really crazy week, month actually now that I think about it. I promise I’ll get back on track as soon as possible!
As for today, I’d like to share with you a brand that’s been growing on me really fast these days. I stumbled upon their lookbook after their name, Strawberry Koi, caught my eye and decided to follow their blog. Their owners, Aya and Thomas Smith describe it as the lovechild between fashion and photography, with a touch of vintage. They’ve got two oh so darling children and take the loveliest photos. I’ll leave you with their SS2013 lookbook for now, since I really need to get my ass back to studying :(

Patricia Loves: Fabled and True

|

I was thinking of making a series for a while and Ta Dah!~ Here it is, Patricia Loves. I’ve always thought there’s no joy in having something wonderful if you don’t share it with the ones around you and that’s what I’m going to do here. Well having is a little ill expressed, more like knowing about (although I’d kill for the brand that I’m about to show you). From brands to books to movies, I’ll show you everything I take inspiration from, or brightens my day, hoping it’ll do the trick for you as well.

I’ll begin the series with Fabled and True, a wonderful vintage inspired brand from Australia: “Born of a love of vintage and days gone by, each piece is designed and made with love in Brisbane, Australia by little old me. No sweat shops or mass production here! No siree, Bob! Vintage florals and ladylike silhouettes are our signature look and ALL of my printed fabrics and the majority of my lace and lining are either pre loved, re purposed or vintage. That means they have lived another life already, have been (sadly) cast aside, sat in the back of cupboards no longer used and eventually disposed of. I search far and wide for my fabrics and trims looking for discarded pretties that I can give new life to so they can be loved and admired like they once were. This means your F&T is one of a kind or one of only a few, and in a world of sameness that’s pretty sweet, PLUS we’re VERY proud to be known as a local Eco label, doing our little bit for the environment by practising sustainable fashion…and looking darn cute while doing it I might add! YUP!”
I fell in love with their unique dresses the moment I accidentally stumbled upon their facebook page. The lace, the floral patterns, the designs, I can only imagine how amazing it must feel to wear them…
I couldn’t find a lookbook, so I selected my favourite photos from their photoshoots. Enjoy!

A Mediteranean jewel

|

I’ve been incredibly moody all day and I’ve got no clue why. I’m finally on my second pseudo spring break and that should make me happy, instead it made me pissed-offy and restless and nothing I did made me feel better. I cleaned up my laptop, which ended in me deleting permanently pictures I still damn needed and as you can imagine that made me slump even lower than before. I ended up eating some dark chocolate and cursing at the heat when it started melting all over my hands. This sudden heat wave (obviously) made me thing of summer, last summer to be precise. And so I decided to look at the photos I took in Crete and remembered I’ve been a lazyass slacker all last summer and didn’t blog about any of it.
The hotel we stood in was a total beauty, it wasn’t a big chunky building as most are, it was made out of tiny little houses spread all over the resort. We were (obviously) given rooms in the furthest one, but I didn’t really mind, walking around the resort was exhilarating. I’ll leave you enjoy the Cretan beauty now, for little mean comments keep popping up regarding everything in my hear right now due to my difficult mood and I wouldn’t want to spoil any of it.IMG_2646
